But I don't care about the color as long as they're consistent in cork or clip size and that they're all the same length. For a while there, they had some questionable sets where the corks were glued on poorly, the straps were too short, some of those holes for the bridle wire weren't punched through, and other straps were missing their tabs. Here of late, they've mostly been OK, but not as good as the old Signal brand. Just another case of "they don't make 'em like they useta." --David Nereson, RPT
